APFIVE Conservative Forces and Potential Energy
A force F(x) = (3x² + 2) N acts on a particle as it moves along the x-axis from x = 1 m to x = 3 m. Which statement is correct about this force?
A
The work done is zero because the force varies
B
It is conservative and has an associated potential energy
C
The work cannot be calculated without knowing the time
D
It is non-conservative because F depends on position
